Air Force commanders unveiled the first unmanned attack aircraft and a squadron to fly it. Eyewitness News went to take a look at this "big brother" to the unmanned Predator spy plane.

There's no pilot or crew on board but the Reaper is watching.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Greene, 42nd Attack Squadron, said, "The question is, how would you feel if you didn't know who was watching you at what time because you can't see or hear the aircraft?"

Lt. Col. Greene says old unmanned planes just watched their targets, but this ghostly plane is a killer. "Watches, waits and it can be ready to strike at a moments notice."
